Welcome to Moab, Utah. Home to two national parks, nine varieties of scorpions, and over three hundred search and rescue missions a year, Moab is more than just a great place to die of exposure – it's the perfect setting for the tragicomedy that is Matthew Gorman’s life.
Matthew thought his plan was foolproof: use his meager inheritance to build a 'tiny' duplex in Moab's desert outskirts, live and study on one side, rent out the other to tourists, then sit back and watch the money roll in. But when Moab's oppressive summer heat kicks in, his lodgers – and his fiancé – abandon him for cooler climes. Broke and friendless, he rents out the right half of the duplex to Piper Lawless, the happy-go-lucky author of the bestselling photo collection of all time, The Phallus in Nature. With the pathologically friendly penis aficionada now an inextricable part of his existence, Matthew's life becomes entangled with those of his eccentric Tinytown neighbors, including Mormon-turned-hippie, Mahatma Randy, and seven-foot-tall Bruno Axworthy, the reptile dealer who falls madly in love with Piper and imagines Matthew to be his romantic rival. Meanwhile, across the country, Piper’s conservative parents and pretentious brother are having problems of their own – problems that can only be solved by dipping into Piper’s deep pockets. Unbeknownst to Piper – and each other – they are all headed to Moab for a disastrous family reunion. Will Piper and Matthew ever find a way to escape the never-ending sideshow of neighbors and family that is taking over their lives?”
